University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences

1. 1

   The short answer

   The University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences is a public university in Japan. It suits international applicants looking for a Japanese institution that currently shows a very limited graduate offering.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The university currently lists one programme: スポーツ健康学研究科, at Master's Degree level. If you want a broader choice of subjects or study levels, check whether more programmes have been added on the official website.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the website for entry requirements, documents, deadlines, and any language conditions. The university does not publish more detailed admissions guidance in the available information, so confirm the current process with its admissions office.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee in the available information, so confirm the current cost with its admissions office. For living costs, plan separately for housing, food, transport, insurance, and day-to-day expenses in Japan.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published, so check this directly before applying. Also confirm visa requirements, whether the programme is taught in Japanese or another language, and what documents the university expects from applicants educated outside Japan.

6. 6

   How it compares

   Japan has 571 universities, so this is one option among a large national system. Its main distinguishing feature is not scale but focus: it is a public university with one listed Master's programme, which makes it better suited to applicants who already know they want that specific area than to students looking for wide subject choice.
